This year, my PLC has been working hard on integrating technology into all of our lessons. We have found many wonderful activities aligned with the 6th grade math TEKs. Here are a couple we have used in our current unit that I recommend using! (I can not take credit for finding these websites, but my wonderful PLC partner found these!) Order of Operations Game: Knights and Dames I teach 6th grade and I highly recommend this game. It helps the students understand that they can divide before multiply or subtract before adding when going from left to right. The only content missing for 6th grade is exponents, but still worth every minute. Some years I use a recording sheet and sometimes I let my student use an expo on their desk to work the problems. Prime Factorization Activity: Factor Trees I used a recording sheet and asked the students to choose 6 problems to work. I love how they receive instant feedback!
